October 7. An Attempt At Drawing A Dog.
October 7. An attempt at drawing a dog.
Today, I drew a dog. It is not the best, but it is better then the three wolves I drew up until now. The more I look, the more I get proud of the improvement...and more dissapointed I get at the bad details.. From now on, I really should try and make my drawings larger. Because it might make them look better at the details.

October 13. My attempt at drawing a witch.
So. Breaking from the strong (nonhuman) animal theme I had up until now, but keeping with the slight Autumn/October/Halloween theme I had, I drew a witch today. She is not the best. I have not been the best with the human face, and I dont thing her chest turned out all that well.
October 26. Yet another drawing.
Yeah, today it is clear it is not in me. So here is another amateur drawing. I tried to combine the colors for the sky, but I dont think it turned out well(mostly because I was in a hurry).
Did anyone else see this weird Wikipedia bug?
It seems that the preview is different the what is written on the page, having a different font, with the preview text being in italic, and the bolded letters being reversed.
Does the same happen to all of you with this page, or just me?
October 29. A simple tree drawing.
Nothing complicated today. I studied and worked, so I lacked the time needed to fully comit.
what a miserable day.
reminding myself the world is not fundamentally changed. we have elected our own downfall, but there are birds outside, and my little niece is learning to walk, and I need to go grocery shopping.
(people had fulfilling lives during the fall of the roman empire. I'm reading books from the 1930's, the last time fascism almost consumed us. I am reminding myself of the people of the world right now living under unjust regimes. I am looking to minorities in america, past and present, for tips on thriving with a boot on your neck. I am reaching out to the half of the country who is mourning with me today, reminding myself there is good, there are helpers, we are still here.)
in the future there will be protests, bad news, fights (jesus christ, thanksgiving is still ahead). for now I am just trying to remember how to live. in 2016 I completely shut down and retreated from everyone. I allowed myself to be tricked into thinking I was alone. I don't want to do that again. (I don't want to do any of this again.)
this is how you live through tragedies - any way you can.
Laios is a little more ruthless than I am about it but I appreciate that he loves and admires creatures even while also seeing them as delicious food. I feel like the writing does a really good job showing the mindset that eating living things is not morally exclusive from loving them and loving nature. I love squids and I eat squids. I know they would eat me too. And if they did I would forgive them.
October 16. A little owl drawing
So. Today I tried something more complicated. So here is a little owl perched on a human arm. Not happy with the arm proportions, or with the number of feathers, and there I stil some remains from the erased parts. And the rest....it does not seem bad to me, but there is still room for improvement.
October 17. My attempt at drawing a tree.
So...today I procrastinated a little, and so decided to draw something I though would be simpler. So I drew a tree. It is....what you would expect from an amateur like me. Still, it was a good exercise.
